i used to play rugby
i don't play now
my knees are knobby
my uniform's worn out

words lost from static
you said on the phone
i miss them more than you'll ever know

and i'm sorry i don't play anymore
i miss the game more than ever before
and i'm sorry i don't call anymore
you sound nothing like you did before
and neither do i

rooting for the underdog
and it's weird because it's me this time
rooting for the underdog
and it's weird because it's me this time

i used to be the MVP
now i'm on the bench
and can't be seen
black specks on concrete used to be sweet
but burned and dried up in the heat

and i'm sorry i don't play anymore
i miss the game more than ever before
and I'm sorry i don't call anymore
you sound nothing like you did before
and neither do i
